Active Fx, Post Procedure Concerns

Update: It is 5/31 and the brown discoloration is almost resolved. The superficial skin depressions on my cheek and forehead are still there. I don't believe the depressions are easy to see. I am not sure if anyone else would even notice them like I do. I guess I should be thankful that my face was able to almost return to it's original state. I just wish I did not pay $3,000 for a procedure that after it I was in hopes that my face would look like it did before the procedure. I'm not sure if I would ever discourage anyone else from this procedure because I do believe I had an unusual response. I just am not in a hurry to encourage anyone to have it done... Thanks for the comments and support..

Thank you for your response. My pore size has resumed to it's original state. I did receive an IPL prior to active fx. I have since received two more and will receive another next week. Unfortunately I have hyperpigmentation (brown marks) all over my face. I have a fair complexion, was not in the sun post procedure (Did not leave the house for two weeks). I have been using sun screen. I believe that I just had an unfortunate adverse response. The brown marks appear to be slowly lightening with the cream. My concerns also have to do with depressions of the skin. Luckily the most depressed area appears to be under my chin. I have two other areas: One on my forehead and the other on my cheek that appear more superficial. Do you think these areas will ever fill in to their original state? It will be six weeks post this friday, any other suggestions beside the cream and IPL?
